[CTcard]

Bailey and Moi would be a heck of a boost to the the front seven (or six) in upcoming years. With modern offenses in the Pac-12 relying so heavily on the pass, Stanford can’t win if it doesn’t get pressure on opposing QBs.

While I am not sure exactly, it seems to me that the Pac 12 seems to be moving toward less emphasis on the pass game.
That definitely seems true for the better teams ... well better teams plus Colorado which simply cannot pass at all right now.

Below is the current % run plays for each conference team. This seems much more run-heavy than recent years, but I don't have time to run the numbers for other years right now.  
Notable is UCLA, ASU, and OSU much more run heavy than recent memory. Oregon has been run heavy for awhile.
WSU is not at all like Leach-WSU.
Former leading rushing teams Utah and Stanford seem to have changed drastically.

Strangely, not a single team runs between 50 and 60% of the time. Quite the two-peaked distribution.

Percent Run Plays, in order:
COLO - 66.1%
UCLA - 65.5%
OSU - 62.4%
ASU - 61.2%
ORE - 60.6%
Utah - 48.6%
cal - 48.0%
ARIZ - 47.0%
UW - 46.8%
WSU - 44.8%
Stan - 44.4%
U$C - 40.4%
